No regrets on buying it I just miss it. The Porsche was the same I bought it from a gentleman in Paris Ontario, hopped on the train he met me at the station took me to his house where the car was and then I drove it back home some four hundred kilometers and never had a PPI or any other checkup done on it. I got the Carfax from the seller and just talking to him was enough.

You were lucky. Good for you.
I got screwed doing the exact same thing. The seller was nice. He seemed incredibly honest. He was upfront about everything. So I believed him and bought the car.
Then I spent $2,000 repairing all of the things that weren't working and which he had to know weren't working when he sold me the car. He literally lied through his teeth and smiled the whole time.
I learned a lesson the hard $$$$ way. Don't be me.
